Hey guys looking to get back into another truck sold my 02 years back ...found a local truck high miles 2 owners old people lol ...im going to be using it for maybe towing and home depot runs

its an 01 black but the miles are high 170k ...i have him down to 5500

I just dont know if i want to get into something that high and has no resale value ...i usually only keep my cars for 6-12months then flip them

What you guys think ?

That's cheap enough where i would think you could get your money back when you sell it.

I think I saw this truck on CL a little while back... I emailed the owner back and forth a few times interested in it, but then the CL ad expired and never saw it again. I figured it sold...GL with it, the truck seemed nice from the pictures he sent me!

The one i am talking about was listed under Boston....I forget what town though, but I think it was down around the Taunton (somewhere south like that)...if the truck is black it has to be the same one. Did you end up buying it?

Probably just depends on how well it was kept up. I wouldn't mine getting something like that and make it my DD. Then park my current L beside my other garage queen.
